Then consider hitting Assad directly every time Russia goes near the wrong target.

Obama should remind Russia they’ll be on the wrong side of history. Their military action is soooo unprofessional.

The so-called “US-led Coalition” is fighting under such restrictive rules of engagement, that most of the sorties come back with all their munitions. Who would want to join such a Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit.

The truth is that our coalition is just for show, boob-bait for the Western press and the Gruberite LIVs.

The jihadists have been beating the Russians for decades in Afghanistan and Chechnya. No surprise Putin wants none

Of course, Russia does not bomb ISIS, Syria does not bomb ISIS, ISIS is full of Russians. Assad allowed what was to become ISIS plan attacks in Iraq as early as 2004. http://www.heritage.org/research/commentary/2004/10/syria-s-trouble

Obama is using US forces in Syria to put on a little theater to fool the folks back home into thinking he is trying to defeat ISIS.

He really just wants Assad out of the way so ISIS can expand the new Islamic Caliphate.

That is why he has’t let US Forces actually take any decisive action that could impair ISIS progress.

Putin has Russian forces in Syria to kick some ass and install Russia as the regional power.

The Russians wouldn’t be this bold if we had a president with stones. They know Obama will do nothing.

*************************************************

And Obuma doesn’t have the guts to do anything about it and neither does his brotherhood...whether there are muslims living in Russia, they know they don’t shake the salt shaker or they will be out on their butts....or dead...which ever mood Putin is in at the time....

I wouldn’t join obama either!

Anyone with half a brain knows Obama is funding, training and supplying the terrorists!

The Russians were fighting with both hands tied behind their back then for fear of the US.

That fear of us in no longer an issue, and they will now do what needs to be done without regard to what we think.
